Title: The Distribution of Charge on the Spheric Surface of Metal Ball in Electric Field of Point Charge
Abstract: After electrostatic induction, charge will distribute on the surface of conductor. that is a familiar phenomenon, but most teaching material of college physics which doesn’t based on non-physical specialty don’t introduce the method how to analyse the distribution of charge. This article based on the example of the distribution of charge on the spheric surface of metal ball in the electric field of point charge, introduces the method of educing the distribution of charge on the condition of electrostatic equilibrium, the relation of electric field intensity and electric potential, by the means of mirror and image, then intensify the understanding of electrostatic field.
